Here's a challenge for the Legion: recommend a title from the 1990's. It can be from any company, but I put this caveat on it to make it interesting: pick something other than Starman, Sandman, or Incredible Hulk. Pick a long run, or a short one, one
Read more…I love it whan a non-comics related item triggers my comics fan synapses. For example, I just checked in a book by Robert Bork, and all I can think is "...But Bork Can Hurt YOU!!!" :)
Read more…...has there ever been a story that touches on how he feels about Captain America? It would seem to me that a man known for helping stop Hitler would be someone hard for Magneto to fight against...he would, you would think, at least be a bit conflict
Read more…Here's my first entry on this side of the aisle: Best cover: Air #10. The shame of it is, the logo (missing here) is par of what's so cool about the cover. On the published version, it's sinking into the sea, and you can see its reflection.
I'm thinking about starting a Librarians group. But I see there's a bunch of settings that have to be made at the beginning, and can't be modified later. So how have the other groups been set up?
Read more…I was able to pick this up at Von's Comics during a visit to Purdue this afternoon and, boy, it is tons of fun. All of it is beautiful to look at, but, so far, I'm most looking forward to reading the next installment the Catwoman/Demon strip. My favo
Read more…I was reading some old Marvel Two-in-Ones earlier this weekend. They were from 1980 and I also read the letters pages. In one issue, a fan complained about characters coming back from the dead (in this case, Spider-Man villain Electro). In another, a

Read more…So reading the review (or at least the comments) of Superman # whatever-the-current-issue-is, and Cap's thoughts about Mon-El taking on the name Jonathan Kent, I just can't help but wonder... Conner Kent, Kara Kent, Jonathan Kent... It's a nice sent
Read more…Hawkeye's always been problematic with me. He's a great character, possibly the first a--hole hero of the Silver Age, but his costume is ugly as all get out. Well, not the entire costume; it's the mask that's just plain ridiculous. Those eye-wings ar

Read more…Possibly for the first time in the 70 plus years of its existence, Detective Comics was the best selling comic in April. Pretty cool, but not shocking, after all, it was the conclusion of Neil Gaiman's "Whatever Happened to the Caped Crusader?" and t
